Thread Name: Songs about Nelson or Wellington
Subject: RE: Songs about Nelson or Wellington
When we disgruntled sailors in the Royal Navy were feeling particularly hard-done-by ( like when our daily rum (tot) ration was stopped ), we would sing, to a well-known American tune , this ;
I wish I was a Civvy,
I do ! I do !
I'd go along Trafalgar Square,
I'd see old Nelson standing there ;
"Get stuffed ! Get stuffed ! You one-eyed ,one-armed bastard ! "
(but we loved him really , of course ! )
